Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0591720A1] In a commercial vehicle, in particular cab over engine lorry with a chassis which bears a driver's cab (5) and a drive unit (4), the frame (1) of which chassis consists of two longitudinal members (2, 3) which are connected via transverse members and has means for the attachment of a spare wheel (19), the following solution is disclosed for achieving the required flexural strength of the frame with a low weight and low material outlay even in respect of a favourable arrangement of the spare wheel. Each of the two frame longitudinal members (2, 3) is divided up approximately starting from the rear wall (8) of the driver's cab into an upper longitudinal member component (2/1, 3/1) and a lower longitudinal member component (2/2, 3/2) which are each connected to one another again in front of the (first, front) rear axle (12). In addition, the lower component (2/2, 3/2) of one of the two frame longitudinal members (2, 3) is displaced downwards to the extent that the spare wheel (19) can be installed transversely between the said frame longitudinal member (2, 3) and the associated upper longitudinal member component (2/1 or 3/1). <IMAGE>
